Adam Jones among Broncos' inactives against Rams

Denver Broncos cornerback Adam Jones (thigh) is among the team’s inactive players against the Los Angeles Rams this week.

“Adam Jones is coming [along] slowly,” coach Vance Joseph said after practice Thursday. “It’s his second stint with the hamstring. Obviously, hamstrings take a while. If you push this guy back, we could lose him for the rest of the season. We’re going to be smart with him.”

With Jones sidelined, rookie wide receiver DaeSean Hamilton will return punts and Tramaine Brock will serve as the team’s No. 3 cornerback behind starters Chris Harris and Bradley Roby. Isaac Yiadom is also expected to receive some playing time at cornerback.

In addition to Jones, right tackle Jared Veldheer (knee), defensive end DeMarcus Walker, quarterback Kevin Hogan, strong safety Shamarko Thomas, left guard Sam Jones and linebacker A.J. Alexander are also inactive. Billy Turner will start in the place of Veldheer.
